Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Potter Highland Historic District

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Denver County average of 45.4%.

It sits 1.3 points below the Denver County average of 6.7. At $2,137 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Denver commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $114,787. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
